Osun Governor Adeleke Buys ₦50,000 Worth Of Puff-Puff, Employs Seller As Government House Chef

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke made a heartwarming gesture on Thursday when he surprised a puff-puff seller during a rally in Osogbo by buying all her snacks for ₦50,000 and offering her a job as a chef at the Government House.

The incident occurred during an appreciation solidarity rally, where thousands of Osun public servants gathered to show support for the governor and his leadership since assuming office.

In a video from the event, Adeleke, seated in a bus, called the woman over and asked how much it would cost to buy all her snacks. He then handed her ₦50,000 as the crowd cheered. Onlookers quickly began sharing the snacks she had sold.

The governor invited the vendor into the vehicle, where officials asked about her educational background. She revealed that she holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education. Adeleke inquired about the dishes she could prepare and instructed his aides to record her contact information for employment as a chef at the Government House.

The moment was confirmed by Olaniyan Taofeek, Commissioner II at the Osun State Civil Service Commission, who shared the video on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “The moment Gov. Adeleke turned the life of a puff-puff seller into a Government House chef.” The governor’s Special Assistant on Digital Media, Oni Gbenga Lawrence, also posted: “Moment Governor Ademola Adeleke turned the life of a puff-puff seller to Government Chef… not only ₦50k but he invited her into his car and employed her as chef in the Government House.”
